A wonderful surprise was in store! |
Four Artists names were drawn and Valerie (L) and she called them to the front.
Not knowing what to expect . . . (L-R) Amy Thornton, Tyler Crain, Kathy Kluggs and Karen Wallace
wondered why they were chosen!
==================
Betty Franks, standing between Valerie and Amy, shared plants from her
garden, that she potted in festive and vintage bear containers.
Thank you Betty!

Donna Manthey (Bearily Pawsing) beamed as all but 3 bears were left on her table. "Adoptions were brisk!"
|
Valerie donning a tree hat passed gifts to the artists while Betty invited everyone to pieces of her homemade creamy fudge! |
Valerie and Betty chatted with Martha over the need for a little sweet fudge, "to give me energy to drive back to Wisconsin!" Martha said.
|
Ben Savino, The Toy Store, chats with a collector.
During the shows collectors have time to learn more about finding that special bear that 'talks' to them and the value of collecting. |

Saturday night before the show, many of the artists and a few collector's joined for dinner at Weber's Inn. Sharing time together and a lot of laughter bonds us as one big teddy bear family!
And we always seem to 'fight' over the little dishes filled with Salmon Pate, rich cream butter an the baskets of fresh bread! |
|
Thank you for coming to the show! |

Have you hugged your teddy bears today? |
